Learning to play 20BB?
 

I'm an FPP just in need of marginal hourly profits, and I was wondering if playing 20BB buy ins was the way to go. Anyone also play this shortstacked?

i mean you earn the same number of fpps (minus the fact that you have to table jump ALOT if youre gonna rathole) and if youre earning your money through FPP's and not profit with a little effort you could definitely learn to beat the game marginally by shortstacking

Say if I play 200NL, I'm looking to make a profit of around 15BB an hour SS, 12 tabling

Re: Learning to play 20BB?
 

yea...thats like 1.5 ptbb/100. Its doable at nl200, but you have to be pretty good at it. If you want to make $30/hr though then playing 2/4 and 3/6 will make it easier on you. I'd suggest that if you're decent.

then you'd be perfect for shortstacking...GL!

It's do-able. But don't get the incorrect idea that it's an easy automatic grind nor does it reduce your variance that significantly.

Im obviously pulling this out of thin air from my tourney play experience, but id imagine shortstacking actually increases your variance, perhaps significantly.

Ok, that's enough gratuitously flaming short stacks.

Thank you.

OP - Check the September Digest. There are a bunch of short stacking related threads in there.
